A walk in the park—Identifying healthy greenspaces using scents
Societal Impact Statement As urbanisation accelerates globally, access to nature is increasingly recognised as vital for public health and wellbeing. We captured and analysed plant‐emitted airborne ‘scent signatures’ across Oxford's urban greenspaces to assess their potential health relevance. We found that sites differ in levels of health‐promoting volatiles and harmful pollutants and that these compounds vary with environmental conditions such …
Smelling Wellness
This pilot study investigated whether ambient biogenic volatile organic compounds (bVOCs)-scent profiles emitted by botanic glasshouse vegetation-could contribute to quantifiable human health and wellbeing outcomes. Over 11 months in 2024 (January-December), human participant trials were conducted at the Oxford Botanic Garden to compare the physiological and psychological effects associated with spending 30 min exposures in five different vegetat…
